Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.

The total average flow rate of the falls is 2.80×10³ m³/s and its average height is 52.0 m (Niagara Falls Live, 2017). Given that the density of water is 1.00×10³ kg/m³, calculate the average power output of Niagara Falls.
Average power output: _________.

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

A solenoid that is 35 cm long and contains 450 circular coils 2.0 cm in diameter carries a 1.75-A current. (a) What is the magne
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  No of turns per metre

n = 450 / .35

= 1285.71

Magnetic field inside the solenoid

B = μ₀ n I

Where I is current

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1285.71 x 1.75

= 28.26 x 10⁻⁴ T

This is the uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid.

b )

Magnetic field around a very long wire at a distance d is given by the expression

B = ( μ₀ /4π ) X 2I / d

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x ( 1.75 / .01 )

= .35 x 10⁻⁴ T

In the second case magnetic field is much less. It is due to the fact that in the solenoid magnetic field gets multiplied due to increase in the number of turns. In straight coil this does not happen .

In a 1.25-T magnetic field directed vertically upward, a particle having a charge of magnitude 8.50μC and initially moving north
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) The sign of the charge is positive.

b) The magnetic force on the particle is 0.050 newtons.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving charge with velocity v passing through a magnetic field B is:

\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{v}\times\overrightarrow{B}(1)

a)

Because it is a cross product, we can find the direction of the force using the right-hand rule, that is too the direction of the movement. We have two possibilities here because the velocity vector and magnetic field are perpendicular: the particle deflects towards east or toward west, which depends on the charge of the particle. Note that if you put your right hand fingers, except thumb, pointing towards north (direction of velocity) and later close them in the direction of the magnetic field, if you maintain your thumb perpendicular to this movement it will point towards east (See figure), so that will be de direction of the force if the charge is positive, but if the charge is negative, the direction will be opposite (towards west). So the charge has to be positive to deflects towards east.

b)

Now by 1:

F=qvB\sin\theta=(8.50\times10^{-6})(4750)(1.25)\sin90\simeq\mathbf{0.050\,N}
